The Emporium Center: Our favorite three "R's - Reimagining, Repurposing, and Recycling

Category: Exhibitions, visual art, Fine Crafts and Free event

The Arts & Culture Alliance is pleased to present five new exhibitions at The Emporium Center in downtown Knoxville from August 6-27, 2021. A free reception with the artists will take place on Friday, August 6, from 5:00-9:00 PM and features live, contemporary music by classically trained musicians who regularly perform with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and Nief Norf ensemble. Most of the works will be for sale and may be purchased through the close of the exhibition by visiting in person or the online shop at www.knoxalliance.store.

Debbie Meritsky and Marc Rotman will present a selection of handmade jewelry, mixed media collages, and stained glass all utilizing reimagined, repurposed, and recycled components.

As is our passion, we integrate repurposed items in many of the pieces we create. The selected pieces that we will exhibit will encompass these types of elements to compliment some of the more mainstream "ingredients" in our work. For example, you will find everything from slumped wine bottles, computer parts, and vintage typewriter parts to electrical components, antique buttons, and various "found" items.
